The Biggest Loser is coming back for a 14th season, and we can already here the cheering. People love this show because it makes you feel inspired and helps us all get a sense of how true determination — a determination to get healthier — can impact your life in so many fruitful, positive ways. Of course, The Biggest Loser is always a bit more fun when there are some scary trainers to threaten our contestants, and there’s no better terrifying trainer than Jillian Michaels — who’ll return this season to show everyone what it means to work. And succeed.

Let me tell you something. I wouldn’t want to mess with Jillian. I have a feeling she could take me down in no time. The clip below opens with contestants sharing their stories. A young girl wishes to lose weight so she can better partake in gymnastics, a sport she loves, and a young man desires to lose weight so he can “feel worthy enough” to ask his girlfriend to marry him. The show is very transparent, and while there are some elements of staging, especially on the trainers side to generate good television, for the most part this show is very truthful in its premise and goals.

The Biggest Loser Season 14 premieres January 6 and 7th, opening up with a special two-night premiere that will get everyone pumped and fired up to tag along with several hopefuls as they set out to reclaim a healthier life. Make sure to check out the promo clips below, and let us know what you’re most excited about this season. Does the show inspire you to live a healthier life, one where you incorporate exercise and fitness into your daily routine?

The show airs after the first of the year, a time when countless people have made New Years resolutions.
